Atlanta GA. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) announced that 2022 retail deliveries in the United States totaled 70,065 cars – PCNA’s best year ever, surpassing the previous record set in 2021. Fourth quarter deliveries also set a new high for the period at 20,955, or 14 percent above the same quarter a year earlier.
“What a year! Twelve months provided challenges linked to industry-wide supply chain issues, but also a year that presented many more opportunities, resulting in a new record that surpassed expectations. I’m grateful to every single one of our customers – especially if they sometimes have to be patient – and to our dealers and the team at PCNA and in Germany who have supported them at every stage in aiming to deliver an exceptional experience,” said Kjell Gruner, President, and CEO of PCNA. “At the same time, it’s gratifying that our customers rated Porsche highest among all automotive brands for their new-car experience in the J.D. Power 2022 US APEAL Study. Looking ahead, we have amazing new cars arriving this year – and experiences too, as we mark the 75th anniversary of Porsche sports cars in style at Rennsport Reunion in September.”

Porsche SUVs and the all-electric Taycan continue to bolster overall sales. © Porsche Cars North AmericaNumbers Explained:
As the numbers show, deliveries of the Porsche 911 exceeded 10,000 cars for the second year in a row and grew 2 percent compared to 2021. Demand for the all-electric Taycan remained strong even as supply chain issues slowed deliveries. Full-year performance was led by the Macan and Cayenne, for a combined record of 44,882 SUV deliveries, up 7 percent from the year before. Fully electric cars made up 10 percent of all deliveries in 2022, for a combined electrified share of 14 percent, including plug-in hybrids.
2022 Highlights:
It’s such a pity that the more Volkswagen adds useless future tech and touchscreens, the more the sales increase. It’s as if dummies are buying these cars. The actual modern-analog sports cars by Porsche up until the 997 / 987 gen never saw such sales and those were the actual ones that should have been produced today with these better engine options and better suspension setups. At least they would have had the brillaint hydraulic steering instead of the fake electric steering, real hand brakes, short sports car dimensions, short agile wheelbase and no unnecessary electronic aids/nannies to interfere while driving. Just pure driving please with actual raw feedback that is sorely missing from the new gen cars. They’re more of luxury tourers now than real sports cars. Sad times ahead..
